NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
1214 AM AKDT SUN AUG 9 2015

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER AIR...
A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN BERING SEA
HAS COME INTO PHASE WITH A LONG WAVE TROUGH WHICH EXTENDS
NORTHWARD TO AN UPPER LOW CENTERED ABOUT 100 MILES NORTHWEST OF
POINT LAY. THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE EASTWARD TO EXTEND FROM
BARROW TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY BY MONDAY EVENING...WITH AN WEAK
UPPER LOW CENTER DEVELOPING NEAR BETTLES. BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE EASTWARD TO NEAR THE ALCAN BORDER.
THE UPPER LOW CENTER CENTERED 100 MILES NORTHWEST OF POINT LAY
WILL MOVE TO 600 MILES NORTH OF PRUDHOE BAY BY LATE MONDAY
MORNING.

THE AIR MASS OVER THE INTERIOR TODAY WILL BE QUITE MOIST...
WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AS HIGH AS 1 TO 1.1 INCH
IN THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN INTERIOR.

NORTHWEST OF MCGRATH BY THIS AFTERNOON...DEEPENING TO 995 MB

PRESSURE EXITS TO THE NORTHEAST...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE
RAPIDLY BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST. EXPECT WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD RECOVER TO NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS LATER
